About Latoya

Latoya Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and life changes.

She uses straightforward, relatable language in sessions. She adapts her approach to each person after an initial assessment, and discusses treatment goals with the client. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills that can be used between meetings.

Her practice draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix lets her address patterns such as avoidance, codependency, control issues, and attachment wounds in ways that match the client’s needs.

Latoya has worked across a range of settings and with diverse concerns for more than two decades. She aims to help people reduce distressing symptoms and build clearer ways of managing emotions and relationships. She encourages steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

She accepts clients from Massachusetts and works with international clients as well. Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin planning treatment.

How her approaches translate to online care

Latoya uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them while accepting hard feelings. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She reviews needs, goals, and preferences with each person and chooses or blends methods in collaboration with the client so sessions fit what the person wants to address.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options she currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. Therapists can also adapt exercises and skill practice for remote sessions, helping people practice coping strategies between meetings.
